At long last, German black metal tyrants ASCENSION unveil their highly anticipated second album, The Dead of the World. Previewed by the Deathless Light EP, ASCENSION's The Dead of the World is a grandiose work of bold creativity and boundless imagination, of brilliant illumination and obsidian depth, all under the banner of orthodox black metal. The band's debut album, 2010's Consolamentum, became a classic in the underground not long after its release; it evinced a wealth of maturity in composition and execution for such a new band. Here, the quintet eclipse that accomplishment with a seven-song salvo that's the epitome of Album Experience. Every part is where it needs to be; every song flows from the other; there is a whole, and it is a black HOLE. From its innermost depths, ASCENSION drive onward and outward, their control of dynamics startling for mere "black metal," their passion, fervor, and professionalism far beyond those who supposedly uphold that genre. Joining ASCENSION in their peerless endeavor here are The Magus (Necromantia, Thou Art Lord, Principality of Hell) and Mors Dalos Ra (Necros Christos), who both respectively provide guest vocals on The Dead of the World. Black metal may be dead for all intents and purposes, but not for ASCENSION, for they show you The Dead of the World. 

The Silence of Abel

Hot on the heels of their critically acclaimed Leviaxxis demo, released earlier this year by W.T.C. PRODUCTIONS, fast-rising German black metal cult DYSANGELIUM unleash their highly anticipated debut album, Thánatos Áskēsis . As prefaced by Leviaxxis, the sound of Thánatos Áskēsis  can rightfully be described as tyrannical: swift and strategic, roiling and rumbling, surging and striking, DYSANGELIUM exude a startling confidence and authority beyond their young years as a band. The nine songs here righteously uphold the banner of orthodox black metal, but the Teutonic quintet work in a dazzling array of dynamics and nuance, especially in the unique, authoritative throat of vocalist Sektarist 0: it's literally the mouth of HELL, and his bandmates follow suit with incendiary performances and muscular execution. Even the song titles - among them, "Gateways to Necromancy," "I Am the Witness, I Am the Servant," and "Words Like Flames" - back up these claims. Soon enough, DYSANGELIUM's Thánatos Áskēsis  will be spoken of as a momentous record in the pantheon of pure-and-proud black metal.

Abyssic Occult Black Metal from Greece

"Summoning the Incarnations of the Worm"

Abysmal sacrilegious rites to invoke those with no eyes
starring deep through the eyes of the dead
invoking the grave, dwellers from the outer lands
spiritually bound in occult search for cosmic wisdom

Passing steps of dangerous rituals from the book of dead names
and the cursed writings of the worm mysteries

Longing for the forbidden knowledge from beyond
ancient power from the darkest path
hidden in the unfathomed depths and wells
of an obscure unknown world

The thick fog rises drowning the room
in obscure demonomanic ecstasy
a luscious maid naked lies
in the ankles of the Kadath star

As the forbidden names are hailed
the boiling maids menstrual blood
made as an offering, to awake(those who eternally sleep)
the residents of distant cold stars
the formless Yog-Sothoth
the evil Tsathogua
the merciless Azathoth
Appear to the mystical  call

Chaos gods of a living void
buried in the accursed emptiness
the lords of ALYACH, KEROSH N'KAI
dwelling behind the lines of ZENRIT MAYOSH
(horribly appear to the call)
